YANKS BEGIN BATTLE TO OUST SENATORS FROM SECOND

Nats Hold Slight Edge Cincy Reds Make It Four in Row Over Cubs With 3-2 Win. BY L. S. CAMERON United Prea* HfcorU Editor NEW YORK. Sept. 4—The major league spotlight, which deserted the Athletics and Cards when they moved so far out In front, today swung around to Washington, where the Senators met the New York Yankees in the first game of a series that may decide second money in the American League. A clean sweep of the series will give the Yankees undisputed possession of second place, for the Washingtons today were but 1 % games ahead of the third place New Yorkers. Only two games were played in the American League Thursday, Detroit whipping Chicago, 9 to 3, and St. Louis trouncing Cleveland, 11 to 3. St. Louis’ triumph saw Dick Coffman, the man who put an end to Lefty Grove’s winning streak, scored his sixth victory in his last seven starts. While Coffman was holding the Indians in check the Browns pounded Brown and Jablonowski for sixteen hits. In the National League, where all but two games were washed out. Cincinnati made it four straight over the Chicago Cubs, winning 3 to 2. in the tenth inning, while the Pittsburgh Pirates defeated the St. Louis Cards, 6 to 4. The Cincinnati-Chicago game was a pitching duel between Owen Carroll and Pat Malone, with the former having a slight edge. With two out in the tenth, Douthit singled, stole second, and scored on Roush's single. The defeat left the Cubs only have a game aheaa of the fourthplace Brooklyn Robins. Strong relief pitching by Bob Osbom enabled the Pirates to whip the Cards after they had hammered Burleigh Grimes off the slab.
